The Thoughtful Guide to Faith [Paperback]

Tony Windross (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Tony Windross lives close enough to his people to know what they think. He also honors their questions rather than pretending that religion has all the answers. In these delightful essays he raises the questions of faith and values that all modern people raise and he offers a refreshing, challenging alternative to the religion of control. This book will escape the walls of the church and be debated everywhere.' John Shelby Spong, 8th Bishop of Newark 'A bombe surprise, Tony Windross's book is unexpectedly lively, adventurous-and radical.' - Don Cupitt, Emmanuel College, Cambridge 'Tony Windross's no-nonsense approach to religion will appeal to thinking people for whom intellectual integrity is an essential component of faith. The Thoughtful Guide is the best tool for evangelism yet developed for twenty-first century people. Those who have given up on the church because the institution seemed out of touch with reality will find ample reasons for bothering again about Christianity.' - Jim Adams, president of The Center for Progressive Christianity 'Tony Windross continues an important tradition of exploratory theology which is part of the Anglican tradition of which this book is an excellent example.' - Rt Rev Stephen Platten, Bishop of Wakefield 'I have a huge amount of sympathy for the approach you are taking, since one of the weakest areas in the contemporary church is developing a robust apologetic for the Christian faith.' - Rt Rev Graham James, Bishop of Norwich

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to post liberal Christianity, September 24, 2009

By	Giles Smedley - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Thoughtful Guide to Faith (Paperback)

For those who have been thinking about Christianity, want to connect somehow, yet some of the things that are said seen to be on the edge of ones personal reason: this is the book.

A wide ranging review of all of the major topics connected with life and the church - it takes the form of a series of simple essays addressing each topic in turn.

Very easy to read - perhaps not so easy to understand unless one has an open mind. Agree or not with what is written, this book will appeal to those who are interested in the Christian faith yet find that they keep thinking all the time! Those who are atheistic yet keep having doubts should think about reading this too.

Thoroughly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Heresy, September 27, 2009

By	Gene Wallace (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Thoughtful Guide to Faith (Paperback)

I've read many books I disagree with, but few as fervently as this. As an American Anglo-Catholic, I'm absolutely astounded to read this damnable work.
